Would rather

英文原文：

Hi guys!

Tom here from BBC Learning English and I would rather be in bed today than be in the office.

We use ‘would rather’ plus a verb to say what we would, ideally, prefer to do.

We can also use ‘than’ to introduce a contrasting idea.

For example, I would rather drink tea than drink coffee.

And, I would rather watch TV than do my homework.

中文翻译：

大家好！

我是来自BBC Learning English的Tom，今天我宁愿待在床上，也不想呆在办公室。

我们使用“would rather”加上一个动词来表达我们理想情况下更愿意做的事情。

我们也可以使用“than”来引入一个对比的想法。

例如，我宁愿喝茶也不喝咖啡。

而且，我宁愿看电视也不做家庭作业。
